Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this project is to examine if early exposure to intensive, short-term locomotor treadmill training (LT) in young children with neuromotor impairment will help develop walking skills earlier, decrease the amount of outside assistance needed (such as a walker or crutches) as compared to children with neuromotor impairment who receive traditional physical therapy intervention.
